The money they don't make and how they get thriugh
First impressions are at the gut level and instanaeous and mysterious too. I don't know what causes them. I react to people instinctively.
I learned most of what was truly important from my father in that material, possessions, ownership, Madison Avenue BS ... doesn’t contribute to character. I discovered character was made of honesty, integrity, compassion, my belief in myself and caring for others .... for 37 years I worked on service to the well being of others. I can look in the mirror each morning and know I’ve done may best.
I learned those values myself from my dad. Strength of character comes from within, you can't buy it.
@mistymoon77 we may be two of a kind
Intelligence and kindness in equal parts. It's rare to witness true intelligence that doesn't come with arrogance or condescension.
Well said sir
@Millerski25 thank you ☺
I'm sometimes impressed by the amount of money someone has.
Especially if the money was acquired in a most unusual way. I like to hear the stories behind it.
Empathy, especially towards animals, children and the elderly. respect for all things. honor and loyalty . . .
Blue could not have put that better
@Millerski25 i'm taking that as a complement so thank you. wasn't sure though if it was meant as a statement or a question . . .
@blueskies if I question anyone they will know for sure, no doubt. I’m quite direct
@Millerski25 well thanks again then!
A great smile, kindness, and intelligence.
What more could anyone ask for
I have a friend who always talked about money and real estate. He was always trying to impress others with his knowledge about finances. One day I told him that his financial knowledge did not impress me. However, "the fact that you are a single parent and raised your son without any help from his mother is impressive." And he lived in a rough neighborhood.
Honesty, integrity, trust/trustworthy, kindness, patience, an encouraging manner. The ability to make the world a little brighter with a smile and a little humor or more substantively when able to be generous in other ways.

I’m most impressed by the way someone will listen to another person. A child, a stranger, a song or a movie. Everyone has a story to tell, and listening to them is the best education a person can get.
I am impressed by friendliness, kindness, good conversation.
.......and then again, I keep being asked why I am Nobody. It has been an interesting experiment of mine, gotta admit !!!!
The usual: kindness, respect, honest, hard working, honest and on and on. My add is that I especially respect those who seek the right answer, rather than seeking to be right. It is a rare mindset and leads to better outcomes.
